New Google Maps Sign-Up Page Leaks Showing Smart Search and More

A sign-up page for a new version of Google Maps for the desktop has briefly become available online, showing a plethora of new features and a new design.

The page, unearthed by Droid Life, is no longer available, but it's likely to show up again tomorrow during Google's I/O event.

Among the features listed on the signup page were a new, smarter search, integration with Google Earth and Flight Search as well as a way to compare multiple modes of transportation.

The mobile version of the app is not mentioned.

A recent report said Google will soon launch an entirely new interface for the Maps desktop app. The changes mentioned in the report seem aligned with this latest leak — all that's left to do is wait until the new Maps becomes officially available.
